Basketball Freshmen struggle as Rutgers falls to Wisconsin for first home loss

[RUChoppin]

Are those grant's first points?

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Pike saving Ace for 2nd half should be immediately fired

According to yoh we have to wait two years. If we go below .500 he will be gone.

 

[bac2therac]

yes and last years team would probably win right now because they were still a top 10 defense nationally

Easily last year

 

[RUFan20231]

Do we remember when Pike used to press on defense? Now it’s just let teams drive and kick for a 3 every single time

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

A little sign of life

Need more effort, intensity, sense of urgency, passion

Also skill

 

[Pdabs]

This offense looks like last year team with a much worse defense than last year.

 

[RAC93]

Pike saving Ace for 2nd half should be immediately fired

Exactly, they are losing this game NOW in the first half. They need to cut into this lead and get the crowd alive, some sort of life shown by this team

 

[bac2therac]

Are those grant's first points?

I believe he had one fg early

 

[Scangg]

Grant already contributing more than Martini

 

[ScarletNut]

I have nothing to add, this is just so sad

 

[FrankZ]

Kudos to Acuff for the 11

 

[RUFanlivingNC]

I’m turning this cramp off

 

[IL Lusciato]

This is a really bad ball team right now.

 

[RUChoppin]

Do we remember when Pike used to press on defense? Now it’s just let teams drive and kick for a 3 every single time

Remember when we had guys who knew how to press effectively? They all left

 

[Rokodesh]

pike doesn't start coaching until they trail by 10 or more

 

[FrankZ]

Grant already contributing more than Martini

Martini doesn’t deserve another minute. Contributes nothing statistically

 

[RUsojo]

 

[kt124]

Remember when we had guys who knew how to press effectively? They all left

Pike had at least 2-3 months in the offseason to teach an effective press

 

[rpiseman]

If the team was gonna be awful outside of Dylan and Ace, would’ve been better if they went somewhere else so we can just suck in peace.

If we have two NBA lottery picks and don’t make the tourney, this season is an embarrassment and a complete black eye for the basketball program.

 

[BOCA93]

9/27 FG (33%) and 1/11 from 3 (9%). Suppose it can’t get much worse offensively

 

[Mr Magoo]

I remember when people thought Wisconsin
Was going to be shit this year. They lost some stars in Storr and Hepburn and Wahl graduated but they have a great coach, a system, and accountability and they just reload

 

[Scangg]

2 assists so far... granted you need to make a shot for there to be an assist

 

[RRRRUUUU]

Isn’t Pikes buyout $24mil?

 

[RUFan20231]

Remember when we had guys who knew how to press effectively? They all left

Pike recruited these guys.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers 9% from 3

 

[RUChoppin]

Pike had at least 2-3 months in the offseason to teach an effective press

Yes, that was I'm sure the only thing we needed to work on in those 3 months.

 

[RUFan20231]

Isn’t Pikes buyout $24mil?

Can we start a gofundMe?

 

[kt124]

Yes, that was I'm sure the only thing we needed to work on in those 3 months.

well it doesn’t look like we worked on anything at all

 

[FrankZ]

Rutgers 9% from 3

 

[RUChoppin]

Pike recruited these guys.

Agreed .. But there's no carry over. I don't think his style works with 80% roster turnover

It's not like Pike forgot how to coach defense...

 

[Rokodesh]

Grant has to start immediately

 

[RUsojo]

Dylan Grant been buried on the bench

 

[Mholinko]

AND WHY HASNT GRANT BEEN PLAYING EXACTLY...???

 

[RAC93]

Good flop by Derkack, that’s what you have to do to get calls

 

[koleszar]

I never want to see Martini again if this is what we can get from Grant.

 

[RUby RED]

At least Grant isn’t afraid to shoot it. Martini shouldn’t see another minute all year

 

[Scangg]

Grant driving and dishing for an assist

 

[RutgersMC]

How come Grant never played much before?

 

[RUChoppin]

Davis with a Simpson take
